The 29-year-old will be the subject of the 'evening with' show on Thursday, November 2.

WBA belt-holder Groves is once again enjoying the spotlight following his latest victory on Saturday where he stopped Jamie Cox in the fourth round of the World Boxing Super Series quarter final at Wembley Arena.

It set up a high-profile contest with Chris Eubank Jr next year.

Groves has rebuilt his career in the last two years after being something of a nearly man of boxing having lost three attempts at a world title.

He controversially lost to Carl Froch in 2013 after being stopped when he was ahead on the scorecards. Although in the inevitable rematch a year later in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, Groves was knocked out spectacularly by his rival in the eighth round.

His third world title defeat, to Sweden's Badou Jack, in 2015 provided another blow but this year Groves claimed the illusive prize by beating Fedor Chudinov at Bramall Lane, Sheffield in May.

Tickets start at £55 and can be booked by calling the box office 01543 572092.
